Welcome to MDMLG

I am very excited to be writing this post to you as your new MDMLG president. The past year as President-Elect and Program Committee chair has been busy, exciting and rewarding. We are all extremely lucky to have such an active local organization. The Professional Development Committee has brought us not one but two CE opportunities this year, one of which is free. The Program Committee offered diverse programs from library accessibility for the disabled to advocating for your library to Feng Shui for the library. The contributions of the Executive Board and all of the Committee Chairs is vital to helping MDMLG be all that it can be. And this cannot be done without you, the members.

With limited funding, resources and time it can be difficult to put together programming that will be relevant to all of our members all of the time. MDMLG is only as good as the participants. The committees take into consideration suggestions and comments from a variety of sources, including meeting surveys, emails and conversations. Every effort is made to provide programs and courses the serve everyone's needs.

This is the time of year where the new Committee Chairs are looking for members so this is your chance to have your say in what MDMLG offers during the next year. In addition to assisting in programming, Committee members also get AHIP points and a chance to get to know MDMLG members better. If you are interested in becoming a committee member just contact the committee chair. And, as always, if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions feel free to contact me.
